District 91 requires parents/guardians to contact the Attendance Office at (815) 838-0737 extension 1, PRIOR TO 9 a.m. whenever a child will be late to school or will be absent for any part of the school day.
The message must contain the following information:
1. Student’s first and last name, their grade, and a teacher name.
2. Detailed reason or symptom for the absence or why the student will be late to school (students that are not called in or are called in without a reason are considered TRUANT and unexcused, and will be reported as such).
3. Your name, relationship to the student, and a call back number.
A ParentSquare notification is sent out to parents/guardians who have not called in their child by 9 a.m. and have not signed in by 9 a.m., and to parents/guardians that only indicate their child “will not be in school” or are “out due to a family emergency” requesting the parent/guardian contact the Attendance Office immediately to advise the details of the absence. Family emergencies may be considered an excused absence depending on the details that are provided. If you fail to contact the Attendance Office the child will be marked truant. Student attendance is crucial to student success.
Appointments during the school day are discouraged, but we also understand that nowadays there can be no other choice. If your child needs to be dismissed anytime during the day (e.g., dental or doctor appointment), please notify the Attendance Office prior to the absence. Proof of the appointment is required in order for the absence to be considered excused. See student/parent handbook on our website regarding make up work and/or a pre-arranged absence.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 815-838-0737 ext. #1104 or you can email me at cdragosh@d91.net.
“It is not happy people who are thankful, it is thankful people who are happy.” November usually brings reflection on all that we are thankful and grateful for; however, the practice of expressing gratitude should be built into our daily habits as it has many positive benefits.
The ability to show gratitude not only allows us to feel at peace with the possessions we have, but it also helps us to build strong relationships with others. Gratitude is not an instinct, it has to be taught. All young children are egocentric by nature, but there are many ways we can help them appreciate the things and people in their lives.
